Sportswear label Reebok Classic introduces its new 3D OP.98 Sneaker silhouette, boasting a familiar feel as it is essentially a new iteration of its 3D Opus sneaker. The overall look of the new shoe delivers a nostalgic vibe, recalling the 1998 footwear model. The new shoes are offered in two colorways in total -- either a golden option or a green option as its pops of color weaving through.
The 3D OP.98 sneakers have an upper constructed from conventional materials such as rubber and foam -- they are weaved together to rest on top of the label's signature split-tooled sole foundation. Branding details from Reebok are seen across the heel area and tongue. The sneakers are available for purchase beginning today for the price of $150 USD online at Reebok and at select retailers.
